+9 stamina, +27 crit rate and .1 speed slower for 30 AP and 1.6 DPS. So as far as pure DPS goes, 14 AP = 1 dps or about .5% of a lvl 66 warrior's dps, a normal 66 warrior should be sporting about 200 dps just on pure white dmg alone.

so 28 AP will give you about 1% more dmg. If you have impale, the 27 crit rating will make up for this 28 AP in the long run and will give you a bit more burst dmg. This also helps with 2hand fury warriors who want to proc flurry. A very common lvl 70 build now is 31/30/0 which is basically MS/flurry. This weapon makes it much easier for people to obtain a really good weapon at such little time invested.

11 more base dmg accompanied with .2 slower weapon and sword spec pretty much means this is an awesome weapon for PvP/MS builds.

Sword spec is superior to axe spec or anything else if you think about the math, the reason being is that sword specs can crit. Think about it which would you rather have 5% more crit, or a 5% chance to get in another swing that has a chance to also crit?

say one guy has a base 30% chance to crit, and specs axe, he'll now have a total of 35% chance to crit. Now take the same geared guy and give him sword spec, so a 30% chance to crit and a 5% chance to proc an extra hit. So in 100 swings, guy #1 will do the following (let's assume each hit does exacly 10 dmg and both characters have impale so that each crit does 170% dmg).

Aldraan is located in the center town of nagrand but the sword is a rarespawn item on his seller's inventory, this sword is another blizz easter egg surprise weapon as it has ubber blue/epic stats disguised into a greenie item

Sword Spec can also miss. Or be parried, blocked, or dodged. Or it could be a glancing blow. Or the first and second hit could both trigger your target's damage reflection (thorns, lightning shield, drillborer disk, whatever).

All in all, Axe/Polearm, Sword, and Mace average out.

if u are a MS build w flurry ( or for a 2-h Fury build ) axe spec >> sword spec .. +5% crit gives u more flurries and makes full usage of charges instead of "eating them" as does sword spec procs .. also : sword proc can crit but it can also miss/dodge/parry etc. .. also sword proc can't proc of other sword procs .. for a PvP oriented warrior w endless rage sword spec is > axe spec, cuz no flurry and burst dmg from sword procs

A must for sword specced Arms warriors. This sword is the best deal in the game. I used Honed Voidaxe and this has much better DPS. I shall be using this until I get my uber swordsmithing weapons.

As a MS warrior I was in Halaa at about 65. As soon as we controlled it I grabbed this and the throwing weapons. At 66 I equipped both and my damage jumped significantly. You simply CANNOT do better at this level unless you had an Ashkhandi or something coming into the expansion. The throwing weapons also add really nice stats and are only a few gold.

DO THIS.

Im using this sword over voidaxe when leveling with my arms/fury build with swordspec and imp slam. Swinging this 3.6 speed sword at 0.5 seconds is just awesome. I do about 100 more damage on average with this sword compared to the axe. To maximize and optimize your slam damage I recommend using a swingtimer like the castingbar Quartz. Atleast I got 10g from the vendor when I sold the voidaxe.

Happy leveling

I am an Arms Warriorand i got Honed Voidaxe at lvl 65 and used it till i saw this wep at 66 i switched to sword spec only to realize i was doing more damage with the axe and axe/polearm spec.so in my case the axe out dpses the sword.

ATM in wotlk alpha, dual wielding this as a fury warrior leveling through outlands is insane. Can nearly one shot mobs with a double crit slam.

This weapon does NOT allways disenchant to Essence or Shards.Just disenchanted three of these and got: Arcane Dust x5, Arcane Dust x2 and Greater Planar x1.

Комментарий от Almarsguides

This is the 3rd 2h sword, and the best one you can get till 70. There are no quests(At least on horde) that give better

Комментарий от ThunderZtorm

Enchanter will also love this, since this sword can be disenchanted and drop a good rate of 1-2 Greater Planar Essence.

They are not unique anymore, so titan's grip warriors are able to use 2 of them :)

Комментарий от HowsthatDoTfeel

I'd like to point out that this sword is also a great upgrade for death knights for are nearing the end of the Outland grind, as it probably will not be replaced until hitting Northrend @ 68/70.

Very good sword!I`m very satisfied from it.

Комментарий от Alzira

I haven't seen anyone yet to talk about the most important part of this weapon, the glow. It looks like it got some kind of light lifestealing on it, pretty cool. I bet it will look awesome with a lifestealing enchant on top :p

So, does anyone know when this weapon spawns in the vendor after all are gone?

Комментарий от terrordog4

this sword wont show glows of other enchants (or at least a deathknights runes)

Комментарий от Pallysliced

this spawns every 30mins as long as your fraction controlls halaa

This is a sting to Horde Fury Warriors; Duel Wielding these bad boys will last you into Northrend. Horde must make do with Voidaxe as its partner.

The axe serves me much better. My dps is up by about 75, but that's enough for it to be useful.

This weapon is epic I currently have it on my lvl 68 paladin

Snag this as your 2h, and use the Ring of Blood reward to grab a 1h for tanking (or healing for pallies).

Halaani Claymore looks like a light saber, and it's sold by Aldraan! May the Force be with you.

Just fyi (for ppl that frequently armory their toons to look at the sexyness they've created) your armory profile will show it as a simple claymore. The loading screen/in-game is the only time you'll see the purple glow.
